Hi folks, I am banging my head against a brick wall trying to interpret "error messages". Is there a straight forward dictionary of "error messages"? in my attempts at searching my "error messages" I get lots of good examples of other peoples projects with the same "error message" as mine, but does not help me as the answers are not relevant to my project. I am trying to "stop" or "end" my sketch after one run and was advised to use " void loop() { } ." each attempt gave error message, " redefinition of void loop" or "unqualified-id", What exactly do they mean? Help would be much appreciated. Chez7.

Hi Electric Water, Tried your suggestion, not working. When you say void loop() "put nothing in it " I assume you mean type "void loop() { } ". I have tried this where void loop currently sits, no go, I have shifted it to end of sketch, still no go. Where am I going wrong. Im sure theres a simple solution, Cheers Chez7.

Just to touch on the original question... The canonical solution is in fact to just search for the error message and work out what's happening to other folks. I originally learned to program before this resource was available, and I'll say it's now MUCH faster to learn new tech because of it.

And then the other solution is to do just as you did -- post to a forum. Usually it's best to include the actual code causing the error and the actual error you get.
